Bin placement rules are municipal in Allegheny County. ACHD Article XX requires all refuse stored in watertight, verminproof containers with tight-fitting lids kept out of public view between collection days.
Typical municipal codes require bins placed at curb no earlier than 6 PM the night before collection and removed by end of collection day or 10 PM, whichever is earlier. Containers must not block sidewalks, fire hydrants, or mailboxes. Between pickups, containers must be stored in rear or side yard, behind principal structure, or in garage. ACHD Article XX Section 2003 mandates container standards countywide.
Municipal violations typically 25 to 100 dollars first offense, escalating to 300 dollars. ACHD may issue orders with penalties up to 1000 dollars per day for unsanitary storage.
